You start on the Northwestern Michigan College campus in Traverse City and run a flat out-and-back along the shore of East Grand Traverse Bay, mostly on Birchwood Drive, East Shore Road, Center Road and Bluff Road. The last 200 metres are on the track inside the stadium. The half marathon is point-to-point, with buses taking runners to a start near the marathon turnaround, and the 10K turns at about three miles. Aid stations carry water and Gatorade, with Gu at several. The marathon finish allows six hours for an official time.
